Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 897 Gathering
Hu Ming said with a grim expression, "It seems these two are completely useless. Fatty, take care of them!"

The fat man immediately understood and put on the act of a villain who was about to kill someone to silence them.

"Alright, Fatty's been itching to get going for a while now."

He shouted viciously, "Let Fatty sever their tendons first, then we'll torture them properly!"

Upon seeing the fat man's murderous demeanor, the two men in suits immediately collapsed to the ground in terror, trembling and begging for mercy.

"Spare us! We already know we were wrong."

The fat man said with dissatisfaction, "What's the use of knowing you're wrong? You can't even provide a single useful piece of information now. It's infuriating!"

The man in the suit on the left seemed to have thought of something and quickly explained.

"By the way, I know some important information."

"What information?"

Hu Ming stepped forward and demanded an aggressive question.

The man in the suit, his body trembling, spoke in a nervous tone.

"The man who asked us to find you is known in the underworld as Master Li."

"Third Master Li?"

Upon hearing this somewhat unfamiliar name, Hu Ming frowned with a serious expression.

Hu Bayi, standing nearby, gave him a wink, signaling him to go outside and talk.

Hu Ming understood and went outside to stand with Hu Bayi to discuss the matter.

Do you know this Master Li?

Hu Ming asked softly.

Hu Bayi nodded, his face grim.

“This suburb of Beijing is the territory of this Master Li. Ah Ming, it looks like we’ve really gotten ourselves into big trouble this time.”

"This isn't trouble we caused; trouble came knocking on our door!"

Hu Ming emphasized helplessly, just then his cell phone rang again in his pocket.

He picked up the phone and glanced at the caller ID; it was the second young lady of the Chen family calling.

"Is it her again?"

Hu Ming muttered something to himself, swiped his finger across the screen, and answered the call.

"Hey, Hu Ming, how are you guys doing?"

Chen Yundi's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone.

Hu Ming replied seriously, "Miss Chen, rest assured, we have no problems on our side. On the contrary, we caught two clumsy thieves."

Chen Yundi breathed a sigh of relief: "That's really fortunate. Hu Ming, our Chen family has arrived at the entrance of this building. You go with them. We, the Chen family, will handle the rest."

Hu Ming frowned and said, "I haven't agreed to cooperate with you yet, have I?"

Chen Yundi chuckled and said, "You wouldn't be thinking of facing this unknown enemy alone, would you? Now, whether you like it or not, you've already been dragged into the trouble of our Chen family."

Hearing this, Hu Ming bit his lip in annoyance.

Chen Yundi smiled knowingly and said, "Of course, our Chen family will not force you. Come with our Chen family to see us first. If you really don't want to, our Chen family is willing to help you get out of this vortex of open and covert struggles."

Hu Ming had no choice but to agree at the moment, and he sighed softly.

"Alright, I'll take my companions down there right away!"

As he spoke, he hung up the phone and turned to Hu Bayi.

"It seems we have no choice but to go and meet this Miss Chen first."

Hu Bayi nodded slightly and said thoughtfully, "This is the only way for now!"

Hu Ming shouted into the suite, "Fatty, we're leaving. Leave these two bastards to the men below!"

Meanwhile, in a private villa in an affluent suburb of Beijing, a middle-aged man with a hooked nose coldly stared at the tattooed giant in front of him.

"What did you say? Your men failed?"

The tattooed man lowered his head, trembling, and reported in a low voice.

"Third Master, those bastards messed things up this time. I'll break their legs as soon as I get back."

"You're the one I'm asking?"

Master Li suddenly stood up, grabbed the tattooed man by the neck with his right hand, and said in a chilling tone.

"You damn clown, do you even know how important this matter is?"

The tattooed man dared not resist and desperately pleaded.

"Third Master, give me another chance, and I will definitely capture Hu Ming alive for you."

"No need!"

Li Sanye's eyes suddenly turned cold. At that moment, he raised his left hand, revealing a cold gun barrel, which he aimed directly at his useless subordinate.

With a "bang," the tattooed man collapsed to the ground, his face filled with disbelief, a conspicuous wound between his eyebrows.

"Damn piece of trash!"

Even after killing his subordinate, Master Li remained furious and continued to curse.

"It's such a waste of all the effort I've put into training you."

"This underground boss from the outskirts of Beijing said with a menacing look in his eyes."

"Hu Ming, since you've gotten involved in the Chen family ancestral tomb matter, don't blame me for taking your life."

On the other side, Hu Ming and his two companions, led by the Chen family, arrived at a courtyard house.

Hu Ming reached out and pushed open the gate of the courtyard house. Inside the lush green courtyard stood a smiling young girl in a dress.

"...Welcome, Hu Ming! I've heard so much about you!"

Chen Yundi stepped forward and greeted them with a smile.

The fat man, standing to the side, said with a hint of sourness, "Good grief, we've been completely ignored again. Hu Bayi, how do you feel about this?"

Hu Bayi glanced at his old partner with amusement: "Alright, stop joking around, we're talking about serious business now."

Hu Ming came out and asked Chen Yundi earnestly.

"Why did you summon me here? And what about those people who attacked me?"

Chen Yundi looked him over carefully and said softly.

"The matter is quite simple. We need some professionals to handle some matters at our Chen family ancestral tombs, but some people don't want to see this, so they sent people to obstruct us."

Hu Ming asked in confusion, "Your family's ancestral tomb?"

Chen Yundi spread her hands, looking helpless.

"Yes, it's been a long time since any member of the Chen family has been to that place, so we need the help of professionals like you right now."

The fat man strode out and stated his position directly.

"Hey, young lady, we don't care about anything else, but there's one thing we need to make clear: our payment!"

Chen Yundi clapped her hands in response, and a member of the Chen family walked out of the courtyard, took out a check from his pocket, and immediately handed it to the three people in front of him.

The fat man quickly took the check and saw that the face value on it was a staggering 30 million.

"My goodness, what a generous gesture! I love partners like you who are so open and generous!"

The fat man's eyes widened in astonishment.

Hu Bayi frowned as he stood to the side.

Chen Yundi smiled and raised her hand, saying, "Let's not delay, let's set off immediately!"
